The phrase, which did not originate with me, captured the point that peaceful, developed societies resolve disputes by law rather than by force.
当我曾经作为一名法学教授教授民事诉讼时，我会在一开始就告诉我的学生，民事诉讼是仪式化战斗的礼仪。这句话并非出自我之口，它抓住了一个要点，即和平、发达的社会通过法律而不是武力解决争端。

Samuel Butler

But assuming the same premises, to wit, that all men are equal by the law of nature and of nations, the right of property in slaves falls to the ground; for one who is equal to another cannot be the owner or property of that other.
但是，假定在同样的前提下，即在自然法则和民族法则下人人平等，奴隶的财产权就会土崩瓦解;因为平等的一方不能成为另一方的所有者或财产。
